someone managed to create a iso file that you can burn on a DVD. it takes for ever to get this iso so I used the VHD file. I got it working using acronis true image. I just followed the article on my digital life and I even didn't need to repair the MBR. Maybe because I installed over windows 7-6801. now I need to get back all my drivers. Vaio laptop are kind of pain in the *** to retrieve drivers.
Good going cameleon 1267 - I wasn't as lucky. I couldn't get it to boot to the drive. I didn't put it on the same drive partition as 6801 was. I'm d/l the iso now, I hope that works. (57% done) I did save the VHD back up, just in case.
Also the key from the beta version of vista is not working anymore for the activation. Only 22 days left before activation. Strange it didn't start from 30. Maybe the guy saved the VHD file after 8 days.
I got the new build installed - same thing - keys from 6801 don't work. ETA - my install shows 30 days left to activate - but it doesn't show the Vista drive - oh, what fun.
